Muscle Fiber Type-selective Effects of Exercise on Phosphorylation of Key Signaling Proteins and Insulinstimulated Glucose Uptake
v/ Greg Cartee, Professor and Associate Dean for Research, School of Kinesiology, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Abstract
One exercise session can increase subsequent insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by skeletal muscle for several hours via mechanisms that remain to be completely elucidated. By definition, glucose uptake is a cellular process, so to fully understand exercise effects on muscle glucose uptake, it is necessary to understand glucose uptake at the cellular level.
Accordingly, we developed and validated the first method that enables glucose uptake and muscle fiber type measurement in individual muscle fibers. Using this method, we have evaluated exercise-induced fiber type-specific effects on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle. We also recently performed fiber type-specific measurements of several important signaling proteins in skeletal muscle from exercised rats. I will present results from these studies and others to provide a unique perspective about exercise effects on insulin sensitivity.

Research Profile
Greg Cartee is a Professor and the Associate Dean for Research in the School of Kinesiology and a Professor in the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan. His research is focused on understanding mechanisms that regulate insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, especially in response to exercise and/or dietary interventions (calorie restriction or high fat diets). He uses rodent models to assess skeletal muscle glucose uptake and metabolism in the whole animal, isolated muscle tissue preparations, and single muscle fibers.
His research has been continuously supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health as a principal investigator since 1992. He frequently reviews grants for various funding agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, American Diabetes Association, Diabetes UK, German Research Foundation, Welcome Trust UK, and Dutch Diabetes Research Foundation.
